Description: | Winemaker Notes\r\n\r\nThe 2022 Morning Fog Chardonnay bursts with aromatics of citrus and green apple complemented by hints of toasty oak and vanilla from barrel-aging. This wine is balanced by a lingering minerality and natural acidity to create a beautiful wine.\r\nBlend: 95% Chardonnay, 5% Gew\u00fcrztraminer \r\nTasting Panel 92 Points \r\nWine Enthusiast 90 Points\r\n\r\nAbout Wente Winery\r\nIn 1912, 2nd Generation Ernest Wente persuaded his father and founder, C.h. Wente to import Chardonnay cuttings from the vine nursery at University of Montpellier France to the Livermore Valley and hand-picked the best of the best vines. Today, over 80% of all California Chardonnay stems from the Wente Clone. In viticulture a \u201cclone\u201d refers to vines descended from a single plant by taking a cutting or bud; in theory, each vine grown on a clone is genetically identical to the original vine.\r\nToday, 5th Generation winegrower Karl D. Wente continues the Wente Clone through the families legacy of Chardonnay with four different styles: Morning Fog Chardonnay, Single Vineyard Riva Ranch Chardonnay, Small Lot Eric\u2019s Chardonnay and Nth Degree Chardonnay. |
